Born 15 Jun 1916; died 9 Feb 2001 at age 84.

Herbert Alexander Simon was an #American social #scientist who was a #pioneer of the development of #computer #Artificialintelligence.

In 1956, with his long-time colleague Allen Newell, Simon produced the computer #program, #TheLogicTheorist, a computer program that could discover proofs of #geometric theorems. It was the first computer program capable of #thinking, and marked the beginning of what would become known as #artificial #intelligence. It proved many of the #theorems of symbolic logic in Whitehead and Russell's Principia Mathematica.

He is further known for his contributions in fields including #psychology, #mathematics, #statistics, and operations #research, all of which he synthesized in a key theory for which he won the 1978 #NobelPrize for economics.
